4 weeks in her new home


We have had Jenny for 4 weeks now and she is growing soooo fast! She is learning commands like sit, come and has just started working on stay and walking on a leash. Dale has gotten a taste of what it's like to be a new mom as he has been the one getting up with her at night. She is sleeping through the night now so his "new baby" experience was very short. She is finally getting the potty thing down. She hasn't had an accident in the house for 5 days and is starting to go potty outside, where we want her to, on her own. She takes a lot of work but when she "gets" what we are trying to teach her, it is very rewarding.


I think Katie and Jenny will be great friends since they spend so much time together. Katie LOVES Jenny. When Jenny is in her kennel, Katie will stand at the door and say "puppy, out". If Jenny is whining in her kennel, Katie will say "Puppy crying". She always wants to play with her but doesn't like it if Jenny gets ahold of one of her toys. We just signed Jenny up for some puppy obedience classes and we are excited about getting her trained. We think she has the potential to be a great dog!
